They say a wedding is also the marriage between two families. In a new series, that ends up happening in more ways than one. Gangulys Wed Guhas, a new web series from KLIKK, is set to stream from September 20.
The Guhas who live at Ballygunge Place are drastically different from the Gangulys who live in their old Nilmoni Mitra Lane house as a joint family.
The Guhas are the “artsy” Bengali family and almost everyone in the family can sing Rabindrasangeet or dance Kathak and attend plays at clubs over wine and cheese.

The Gangulys, on the other hand, are an old North Calcutta “bonedi” family that still prides themselves on their collection of antique furniture. They are a joint family of illustrious lawyers, doctors and engineers and have an air of faux intellectual superiority about them. However, the two families end up in the same place and in the same biye bari because two of their younger members want to translate their intense college romance into marriage.

There’s escalating tension, hilarious troubles, rib-tickling secrets, accidental romantic reunions.

A family drama, with about 18-20 characters who are meeting because of a wedding, and the dynamics of each of the character. There is a feel-good factor attached to the whole series. It is always nice to work with a good team. My character Madhura, the bride of the series, comes from a matriarchal family. Strong-headed, on-the-face and a bit possessive. She is developing an app here, work-wise,” said Amrita.
